Former India cricketer and international coach Robin Singh on Wednesday announced the launch of ‘Robin Singh Relations Cricket Academy’ in Dubai, Bengaluru, and the U.K., in strategic collaboration with partners in India and England.

The former all-rounder has designed the programme and will oversee every aspect of it alongside some reputed ex-international cricketers. Former India pacer Debashish Mohanty and legendary West Indies cricketers Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Curtly Ambrose are some of the notable names in the coaching panel.

“A defining feature of the RSR Cricket Academy is its ‘Play More, Train Less’ philosophy. Players will participate in assured weekly practice matches and be promoted into intra- and inter-school tournaments, prioritising real-game experience alongside structured coaching. No tall promises, just simple cricket,” said Robin.

Update: Earlier, RSR had mentioned that L. Balaji, T. Kumaran, Tanveer Jabbar and trainer Ramji Srinivasan would be part of the coaching team. However, the academy, on Friday, issued a clarification stating that the above-mentioned four will not be involved in any official or informal capacity. Balaji, Kumaran and Ramji were in attendance as guests for the launch of the academy.
